Best Aerodactyl Builds in Pokemon Champions

Aerodactyl has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The fast Rock Slide attacker is the safest option, while the Mega build gives it more offensive pressure.

Build 1: Fast Rock Slide Support

This is the main Aerodactyl build. It uses high Speed to pressure Flying, Fire, Bug and Ice-type Pokemon while supporting the team with disruption.

Build 2: Mega Aerodactyl Physical Attacker

This version uses Mega Evolution for stronger physical damage and better Speed. Use it when Aerodactyl is one of the team’s main attackers.

Aerodactyl Stats

Aerodactyl stats are shown below for easy comparison.

Best Items for Aerodactyl

Focus Sash is the safest item because Aerodactyl is fast but can be removed quickly by strong super-effective attacks.

Aerodactylite is the best item for the Mega build because it gives Aerodactyl stronger offensive pressure and improved Speed.

Best Pokemon to Pair with Aerodactyl

Aerodactyl works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.

What Aerodactyl Is Good Against

Aerodactyl is strong against Fire, Flying, Bug and Ice-type Pokemon. Its Speed lets it pressure many offensive Pokemon before they can move.

Tailwind and Taunt also make Aerodactyl useful even when it is not dealing the most damage.

Potential Counters for Aerodactyl

Aerodactyl is threatened by Water, Electric, Ice, Rock and Steel-type attacks. It often needs Focus Sash or careful support to stay useful.

Aerodactyl Pokemon Champions Regulation History

This section keeps older Aerodactyl builds available in case a previous regulation returns.

Should You Use Aerodactyl?

Aerodactyl is worth using if your team needs a very fast attacker with Tailwind, Taunt and Rock-type pressure.

The Focus Sash support build is easier to fit, while Mega Aerodactyl is better when the team needs Aerodactyl to deal more damage.
